Brought up in Australia makes her Australian.
If her parent is American, that makes her American. Period. So she's just an American woman shot by cops. Got it!

Could you link the coroner's report? I have yet to see it. Thanks

If she is an American citizen, why is she being described as Australian?
They don't have to supply the public with any facts while an investigation is underway. Woulda, shoulda, coulda after the fact is a waste of time.

And we would not have to worry about being killed by police. Australians just cannot believe this.
The officer hasn't admitted to anything.
Police have not confirmed that fact. For all I know, she may well have been here on an expired Visa.
Not at all. What is interesting is that he's had a lot more formal education than many police officers. I don't know why they don't have to get degrees.I have to agree. It seems it was some PR exercise that was not well thought out.
This cop was already on LE 's radar. So its not hard to figure out what went wrong. For two reasons actually. Especially if you know whats going on in Australia. He recognized her accent without a doubt.
Yeah, I have to say, if I'm being assaulted and a kind stranger calls the police, and they are shot to death, I won't be speaking with police. I'll head home and call a therapist tomorrow.Hiding from the cops in fear?
Didn't mean to thank this post. I just wanted to point out that criminals don't have to "go to" nicer areas. Plenty of criminals live in them as well.But the crime stats are evidence of what the police are dealing with. And the stats were in response to the earlier statement, about how unbelieveble it is someone might get shot during a traffic stop. The stats are a way of explaining what the officers are dealing with in that city.
It does not matter if it is a high crime area or not. Criminals go to nicer areas to do home invasions and rapes and car jackings quite often.
I agree totally that this victim was not doing anything criminal and should not have been shot.[ for any reason that we are now aware of anyway. ]
But when 340 people are shot in one week in one city, the cops have good reason to be on high alert at all times. Especially at night in an alley.

WHAT?This cop was already on LE 's radar. So its not hard to figure out what went wrong. For two reasons actually. Especially if you know whats going on in Australia. He recognized her accent without a doubt.
What went wrong?
What is going on in Australia?
How does her accent relate to this cop shooting her?
Two reasons? Her accent and what else?
Probable cause gets you a warrant, not a death sentence, FYII think she was shot and the officer had probable cause.
